SHE LEARNED TO LIKE THE SCHOOL.
She goes to school and she belongs
to an educational family of prominence,
who have moved from San Francisco
for official convenience; so she has had
to go to new school. The first day
she found that, contrary to her expert
ence, boys and girls were together in
this school. This offended her, and
when she went home she complained.
Mamma, that's not good school; I
don't think I'll like to stay there"
"Why?"
"There are boys and girls all together
there; it isn't pleasant"
"Well, my dear, try a little, any
how"
The next day she came home in
better humor.
"Do you like the new school any
better?"
30, yes, mamma; the teacher has nut
the loveliest little boy next to me he's a
lovely little boy; I think 1 shall like
the school,"
The third day she came home in the

SCOTT IN THE MEXICAN VAR

His victories have never received the
credit justly due them on account of the
apparent ease with which they were
gained. The student of military his
tory will rarely meet with accounts Of
battles in any age where the actual OPP
eratlons coincide so exactly with the
orders issued upon the eve of conf1ictas
In the official reports of the wonderfully
energetic and successful campaign in
which Gen. Scott, with a handful Of
men, renewed the memory of the con.
quest OF Cortes, in his triumphant
march from Vera Cruz to the Capital.
The plan of the battle of Cerro Gorlo
was so fully carried out in action that
the Official report is hardly more than
the general orders translated from the
future tense to the past. The story Of
Chapultepec has the same element OF
the marvellous in it. The General com
mands apparent impossibilities in the
closest detail on one day, and the next
gay reports that they have been accom-
plished. These successes were not
cheaply attained. The Mexican''
though deficient in science and military
lntelllgence, fought with bravery and
sometimes desperation. The enormous
percentage OF loss in his army proves
'iiat Scott was engaged in no llgh'
work.-The Ce,1t4,v.

SUCKED By UOLE

Some natives, travelling by some I'M
frequented part of the jungle in the
Bulandshahr district, were surprised to
see a small boy of 5 or 6 years old
crawling about on hands and feet. On
drawing near they were amazed to see
the boy disappear quickly within the
interior of large hole, which, on closer
inspection, turned out to he the DWELL
ing-place of some wild beast. They
reported the occurrence to the magis-
trate sahib of Bulandshahr, who dis
patched messengers to the spot with
instructions to light fire ct the mouth
OF the cave. This was done, and, on
the binding fumes making their way
into the farthest corner of the hole, a
snarling she-wolf sprang forth with a
bound. A moment later the boy, too,
came forth, when he fell an easy prey
to those intent on securing him. On
conveying him to the magistrate the
boy was found to be speechless, imbe-
Gle, and as near an approach to an ami
NAL as human being can possibly be.
Vegetable food was offered to him, but
this he refused, and it was only when
meat was placed before him that he
would eat. In the orphanage he soon
learned to walk upright, partake of
vegetable food, and to wear clothing,
All attempts to teach him to speak have
been fruitless, and he is void Of ordi-
nary reason, though not altogether I'M

board held their breath as the two dis
oDpcared into the darkness, drawn
along that frail cord which looked as
slender as spiders thread amid the
mountain waves that leaped and CRASHED
around it like wild beasts. But after a
suspense which seemed endless to the
anxious watchers on the wreck, cheer
from the shore, family heard through
the roar of wind and wave, told that the
mother and child had got safely to
land.
"Thanlz God!" said the Captain,
fervently. "Now, lads, away you go; 1

old craft, you know"
The men obeyed in grim silence. One
bv one they We're drawn to land, and
last of all came the Captain himself.
But although he had borne up bravely
till then, his overtaxed strength gave
way as soon as he reached the shore,
and down he fell in dead faint.
When he came to himself again, he
was lying on the floor of a fisherman's
hut, and beside him sat Mrs. Barrett
with her child in her lap.

man, cheerily, helping him to rise; ;

"The boy?" echoed the old man,
doubtfully. II didn't see no boy among
'em, nohow."
"What! is little Bill missing?"
shouted the Captain. II must go and
see about that at once"
Out he went that moment, weak
though he was; and he soon fell in with
three or four of his men, who, like him
self, were coming out of the huts in
which they were sheltered. But none
Of them knew anything about Bill, and
the Captains heart was beginning to
sink, when somebody pulled him gently
by the sleeve, and there stood the miss
ing boy, mutfled in huge pilot coat.
II was just a-loollin' for You, sir, u
said Bill, touching his forelock. i.
"Why, where on earth have you been,
my lad?" asked the Captain. awe all
thought you were lost.
"Well, you see, sir, Jim Barrows
wrapped me in a tarpaulin, and held
me in his arms while they pulled him
ashore. and maybe that's how they
didn't see me. I've brought you some
thing from the wreck, though. Lool
here!"
So saying, he produced from under
Lis coat the Captains little raccoon
Zip, which, overjoyed at seeing it,
master again, leaped upon his broad
shoulder and rubbed its cold, wet nos,
against his face.
II didn't forget him." said the boy
gleefully. II went clown and got hin

In the very thickest of the fight, on that

Il TR.IMIP's ELOOUENCE.

"You do not look very we'll, my poor
man." said lady to tramp to whom
she was handing something to eat.
"No. ma'am, do not, he answered,
II neglected to take my annual bath
last summer, and am suffering now for
my carelessness. I kept putting it off
until the weather became too cold.
This shows you, ma'am, the evil of pro-
crastination. And let me add that if
you have it in your mind to give a poor
tramp small drop of something to
keep him warm, now is the time to do
it. Do not be like me, ma'am! Do
not procrastinate and afterwards carry
around with you chestful of remorse
and regret. Be warned, madam, by
one who repents at the eleventh hour. /"

the lady to Withstand, and she imme-
